Genesis 18:16

Abraham Pleads for Sodom

16 When the men got up to leave, ^{▼▼ Heb “And the men arose from there.”} they looked out over ^{▼▼ Heb “toward the face of.”} Sodom. (Now ^{▼▼ The disjunctive parenthetical clause sets the stage for the following speech.} Abraham was walking with them to see them on their way.) ^{▼▼ The Piel of שָׁלַח (shalakh) means “to lead out, to send out, to expel”; here it is used in the friendly sense of seeing the visitors on their way.}
